    Going from towns that had next to no public transport to NYC made me think that public transportation should be improved back home for sure just for accessibility. I could also be improved in NYC as well to encourage more frequent use.

    My transportation choices don't do anything to affect my engagement in the community. For me, my experience/enjoyment is the same regardless of the mode of transport.. though I do miss blasting my music and singing in the car..
